Blues & roots (1959)

Description

This edition contains the complete original album by Charles Mingus, Blues & Roots, almost entirely based on the blues. Largely improvised on the spot (Mingus only explained the basics of each piece to the musicians at the last minute), Blues & Roots was highly appreciated in its time and has since become a true classic. As a bonus, the master takes - and the blues alternative - recorded during a rare studio session produced by Mingus in 1957 for one of his favorite sidemen, Shafi Hadi - also featuring Pepper Adams and Dannie Richmond.
